Papaya Enzymes tablets not only helped when I had indjestion, but has controlled it to the extent that I almost never get any symptoms. No more Pepcid, Tums… I tried them all.

I have R.A. and have been searching for not ONLY homeopathic remedies for symptoms but also remedies to get me OFF the Prilosec and similar brands. I have been reading about pickle juice… well much to my pinched nosed chagrin I had only 4 ounces today and maybe it’s a coincidence, but my heartburn is gone. I instructed my Dad to keep all pickle juice handy (I go to his house to fudge his food during my lunch hour from work) and I also can my own veg. Boatloads of pickles are now on my list. As to whether it helped my RA symptoms, time will tell. I also bought local made honey and some cider vinegar for a morning regiment (local honey helps with allergies too). I am full of pills so more “supplements” for me…we’ll see how this goes!

Chewing two tablets each of DGL Licorice 20 minutes before each meal will help you control the uneasiness usually creeps up after a heavy meal. After suffering with Acid Reflux disease for over 12 years and having taken any or every medicine to control my burning stomach, I came across an article regarding DGL Licorice, which totally changed my life. Last two months I have been religeously chewing two tablets of this miracle supplement 20 minutes before every meal and guess what? I have not used any of the over the shelf or prescribed drugs for almost 2 months now. It does take two to three days to work on your system but I must say its worth it. The best brand to use is “Enzymatic Therapy DGL (w/o Sugar or Fructose” available in any health store or look for it on internet.

I drink about 3 oz of Aloe Vera Juice mixed with OJ or some other juice. The Aloe Vera Juice doesnt taste pleasant but if you mix it with another juice, it helps. Although OJ is acidic, the Aloe works almost immediately and you don’t feel a flare up.

If youre diabetic (mom is diabetic), I mix Aloe with water and put some Equal or sweetner.

I used Prilosec for years and developed colitis, which is and intestinal disease. I started reading some books on natural cures and discovered the most of the drugs for acid reflux are to be used only temporally. Prilosec recommends use for only 2 weeks then discontinue for 6 months. Strange they sell it in a 48 day pack. I stopped using it and the colitis went away. Now I eat an apple everyday and have very little recurrences. When I do I use baking soda and a little water

I was on medication for a couple of years and was able to get off of it through the help of my naturopathic doctor using aloe vera juice. I found a brand that was clear and tasteless and would drink about three 3oz shots a few hours before bed. That has been about three years ago and now I have to take it about three times a year.

Ginger root works every time! I keep some dried ginger root by my bed just in case. Works great for nausea and upset stomach as well.
